Beef recalled in Midwest over possible E. coli

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the Colorado-based company produced the products on April 21-22, and shipped them to distributors and retail establishments in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nebraska, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah.

A company spokesman said Thursday the recall is voluntary and no illnesses have been reported.

All the recalled beef is in boxes bearing "EST. 969" and packaging date codes of 042109 or 042209.
